There’s absolutely nothing that I like about Auntie Nasty Pelosi and I’m not ready to give her a pass about anything. When you look in the dictionary for a definition of the term “term limits” there should be a picture of Nasty next to it.

The late Senator Edward Kennedy’s ghost writer explained the “Pelosi Problem” back in 1968, in the book “Decisions for a Decade”:

If a legislator is “safe” from competition, or if he represents groups with the same economic and political beliefs, he does not have to change his ideas or respond to the needs of the broader population. He can rest content with a mediocre, absentee performance knowing he will be returned to office. And as he is returned year after year the seniority system gives him immense control over people from other parts of the country whose views he need not heed at all.

That Ted Kennedy became the drunken poster child for this concept is left as an example of the blindingly obvious.
